If done correctly, the horse only experiences a mild discomfort from the freeze brand because it's so cold. The brand is normally done by holding a brand in dry ice (basically, the opposite of fire branding, which causes a LOT of pain and can lead to infection), and then holding the brand to the area where the brand needs to go. The temperature of the brand makes the hairs go permanently white in whatever shape the brand is. In the case of white or grey horses, the brand is held on until the hair dies, and leaves a bald patch in the shape. Freeze branding is ideal because it doesn't cause harm to the horse, it's easier to see when they're in their winter coats, and it can be harder to alter.

my mom's Trakehner has a white mark on its... close to its back (from 1 (stomach) to 10 (back) it is located on 8.5). So is that a freeze brand? It says her birth time and stuff. She owned the horse for 2 years and it didn't get off so it isn't paint or anything! XD

Trakehner's are fire branded on their flank, so the freeze probably came from the original breeder. Here's the American Trakehner Association's FAQ sheet on their branding rules: [link] The brand will look like this: [link][link]

Freeze brands will stay white forever in both summer and winter coats. A lot of breeders use the brand in order to keep track of their horse's date of birth, sire, dam, and location (country, state, etc). It's a way of making sure that no matter what happens to the horse (IE the papers are lost), there's a way to track the horse.
